This describes the amount of marine protected area (km2) within 3nm of the coastline.
IUCN and UNEP-WCMC (2016), The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) [On-line], May 2016. Cambridge, UK: UNEP-WCMC. Available at: www.protectedplanet.net.
NOTE: This is the protected area for the entire US, not the Gaviota Coast.

The pale blue offshore region indicates the Gaviota coast region, with the green indicating the marine protected area.
These are the eez summarized Cumulative Human Impacts data. This summary includes only the Cumulative Impact values for the regions of interest. The full data is available here.
NOTE: This is based on the full US extraction! It will take a bit of work to extract the Gavioata Coast region. I will do this, but I wanted to provide these data so we could begin thinking about it.
